It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah, may Allah be pleased with him, that I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on a moonlit night wearing a red garment. I would look at him and then at the full moon, and in my sight, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was more beautiful than the full moon.

Hadith Takhrijاس روایت کی سند ضعیف ہے اور اسی سند سے یہ روایت [ترمذي 3812] ، [معجم الكبير 1842] ، [مستدرك الحاكم 186/4] ، [دلائل النبوة 196/1] میں مروی ہے لیکن اس کا شاہد صحیح سند سے [مسند ابي يعلى 1699] میں موجود ہے۔
´Narrated Jabir Bin Samurah:` "I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) on a clear night, so I looked at the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and at the moon, and he was wearing a red Hullah, and he looked better than the moon to me."
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation: 1: Some scholars have stated that this red garment of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was not purely red in color, but rather it had red stripes. It is evident that there is no doubt regarding the permissibility of wearing such a red garment.
Note: (In the chain of narration, Ash'ath ibn Sawar, the judge of Ahwaz, is a weak narrator. He has attributed this hadith to Jabir ibn Samurah instead of al-Bara' ibn Azib. The narration of al-Bara' ibn Azib has already been mentioned under number: 1724.)
